As everyone already knows, I am into music. I do like other things though, and one of these things is biking. Every year around Spring I start going through YouTube to watch all the new biking videos to get me psyched for the biking season. Sometimes I happen to come across some pretty good music in these videos too. For instance, in this video I got hooked on Band of Horses‘, “The Funeral.”

Filmed in and around Edinburgh, Scotland by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill features some the best riding I’ve ever seen. There’s some awesome riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a bike.

I recently received word about The Budos Band planning tour dates for 2012, and San Francisco is listed with a stop at The Independent. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to the show. Will you? Hope to see you there!

Just announced: the Noise Pop 2012 lineup! Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the San Francisco-based music festival features Cursive and Built to Spill as headlining acts, with appearances from Die Antwoord, Grimes, and Surfer Blood representing a particularly solid early lineup this year. The festival, known for its genre-bending bills, will take place across multiple venues and dates from February 22-25, and will feature upwards of 150 artists in total.

The inimitable Shepard Fairey, founder and creative mind behind the Obey brand, is responsible for Noise Pop’s graphic design this year, which can only mean one thing: the 20th anniversary Noise Pop merch will be incredible.

Ok, I came across this video a little while ago and have been wanting to share it since it pretty much leaves me speechless everytime I watch it. These guys have put together the most crazy touring vehicle I have ever seen. I have no idea where this is really, other than the fact that the video I originally found on LiveLeak.com is listed as coming from Russia. So, if you know anything about these guys please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy!!
